Professional Services

Whether an insurer, broker, accountant, solicitor, IFA or any other professional service provider, consent is a key consideration, as your business often holds data on customers that is, or is perceived to be, of greater value or sensitivity.

Ensuring each customer or prospect clearly understands and consents to what data you process, how it is processed, over what period it needs processing, and any other organisations you need to share their data with in the performance of your duties, demonstrates a commitment to transparency, customer care and may offer a competitive advantage.

Your customer database will be cleaner and leaner.

All customers will have expressed a clear interest in your services.

For those who've bought with you previously, they are interested in buying again.

For those who haven't, their interest has been confirmed.

"Consent should be given by a clear affirmative act establishing a freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her"
